Thermal design library adds Sunon fans

Engineers using or considering Sunon fans can now streamline the thermal design process by downloading fan models and incorporating them into thermal simulations.

Flomerics has incorporated thermal models of Sunon fans into its SmartParts3D website.

This means engineers using or considering Sunon fans can streamline the thermal design process by downloading fan models and incorporating them into thermal simulations.

This approach reduces modelling time and also increases accuracy because the SmartParts3D model has the exact point-by-point values of the fan curve, eliminating the need to make rough estimates from a paper chart.

"Our customers have asked us to post thermal models on the SmartParts3D website because they use the website extensively to save time during the thermal simulation process", said Eline Roussel, Marketing Manager for Sunon Europe, Fresnes, France.

"Now they can quickly evaluate their design with different models of our fans installed in order to optimise thermal performance much more quickly than was possible in the past".

Sunon joins Alpha Novatech, Bergquist, Brady, Chomerics, Comair Rotron, Delta, Dow Corning, EBM Industries, ETRI, Honeywell Electronic Materials, HS Marston Aerospace, JMC Products, Mechatronics Fan Group, Micronel, NMB Technologies, Papst, Philips Semiconductors, Thermagon, ThermalWorks, Universal Air Filters, YS Tech, and many others that have contributed data to the SmartParts3D library, located at www.SmartParts3D.com.

The library is searchable by part family, description, manufacturer, model number, and performance criteria.

Models can be downloaded from the website and imported into Flotherm, which has become the standard tool for design and optimisation of cooling systems for electronics equipment with a user base twice that of all competitors combined.
